The OEMSeat of the 2022 MT-09STD looks very poor, so after considering whether to change the entire Seat or the Cover, we decided to improve the Seat shape while changing the Cover.
The seat height of MT-09 is 825mm, which is still too high for me, and I found it difficult to get a good footing, so I shaved about 2cm off my seating position, and for the rear passenger part, I bought KIJIMA's Sponge and heaped about 2cm on the opposite side.
We chose UltraGrip for the Seat. As the product description says, the design closely resembles the road surface. "Asphalt" The material is a unique material that has never been seen before, and it is quite good. The overall build quality is also good.
I was concerned that the large size of the Cover might be insufficient since I modified the Seat shape from OEM for my own convenience, but when I tried to fit it, it fit just fine.
[Result]
The hard surface of the sponge has been shaved off, exposing the soft sponge inside, and even though the sponge thickness has been reduced, the feeling of sitting on the sponge is now soft and comfortable. So far, I have not experienced any buttock pain.
The original seat shape and the well-designed cover have improved the overall look of the motorcycle and the ease of movement, such as holding the seat and shifting weight. The distance between the footpeg and the seat is a little shorter, and the bend of the knee is a little tighter, but it is acceptable for me. The PassengerBelt is also included, although I did not attach it. I am satisfied with the Custom.
[Notes]
The work to cover the cover and fasten it with a tucker, considering the overall shape and tension, requires a certain degree of hang, or sense. This is not recommended for those who are not confident in this process. It is better to have a specialist reattach the tucker.
